But why would you be interested in taking an Art Therapy Session?
Here are FIVE Amazing benefits of art therapy:
- Stepping into your creative mind and engaging more physical senses helps your brain process your thoughts and feelings more effectively. We can take those big scary feels and put them on paper or in a notebook or on a canvas and let them go, leaving us with a feeling of peace and renewal.
- Depression can often be the result of a particular life event. Art therapy is a great tool to explore feelings and relieve some of the intensity you are feeling.
- One of my favorite parts of art therapy is it provides a nice confidence boost. When we examine and compliment each others’ work and reward their efforts, it can help raise their self-esteem about their journey.
- Art can provide a safe conduit for expressing trauma. Trauma is hard to handle for anyone. Art gives you a safe space to negotiate the negative and move to focus on the positive.
- Much like music, art provides a method of communication that transcends beyond language and spoken word. Colors evoke feelings as do types of paint strokes or shapes. Even scenes or specific images can call ideas and thoughts into focus that otherwise are not easily spoken about.
Creative expression through art can profoundly impact the way we cope with our internal emotions. The simple act of using a physical medium to express how we feel often leads to a feeling of renewal and inner peace. Art therapy also has the potential to provide us with a boost in self-confidence – when we witness or participate in collaborative appreciation for each other’s work, it can have an empowering influence on our journey. Furthermore, art offers a gateway for trauma survivors to safely negotiate their memories and feelings which proves to be difficult for many individuals. Also, art has a special capacity to communicate beyond language because colours, textures, shapes and images can evoke powerful emotional associations that are simply indescribable with words alone.
